    assistance needed K-meta

    Headspace question

    Does headspace in a carboy really matter on a 4-6 week kit your just going to bottle and drink soon anyways? I can see why you do it for bulk aging but when its just sitting undisturbed for 2 weeks to clear i cant imagine it would have and negative effects. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
